Acupuncture is a non-invasive alternative treatment that has a rich history as part of Chinese herbal medicine. When combined with other treatments, including physical and massage therapies, medication and other multi-disciplinary approaches, it offers great benefit in the field of orthopedic medicine. If you are suffering from an orthopedic issue, it may be time to find a provider of Acupuncture in Hawaii.
Acupuncture involves the use of small needles that are placed just under the skin’s surface. In most cases, patients report no pain, or a slight tingling at the needle site. Acupuncture works on the principle that there is an energy field or meridian that runs through the body. Injuries, disease, and other conditions cause a disruption in this field and results in disharmony in the body. The manipulation of this field (by specific needle placement) can help promote healing, relieve pain, and promote overall wellbeing.
It is also believed that acupuncture can help reduce stress and release toxins from the body, promoting faster healing and the return of body harmony.
Acupuncture can be combined with a variety of other treatments, including chiropractic and mainstream medicine. Electrical stimulation can be used in conjunction with acupuncture to provide more stimulation to injured areas. The increased blood flow to damaged or painful areas can help jump start the healing process and reduce tension in the muscles and joints.
